The QTALK® program teaches students the fundamentals of the target language through visual symbols that represent all parts of speech (nouns, verbs, adjectives, adverbs, conjunctions, etc.). Students learn to associate a word or expression in the new language with its corresponding symbol. With the first lesson, students will be able to speak in complete sentences in the target language. Over time, the instructor will gradually weaken the students’ reliance on the visual cues (symbols), and students will be able to produce authentic sentences without the help of images. The symbols are simply an aid to help the learner encode information (in this case, the vocabulary) into long-term memory. Once it is there, the memory cue is no longer needed.
